The Windley Classic 22, later produced as the Classic 22 by John Heaton’s Classic Yachts Inc., is a quintessential American trailer-sailer that emerged from the evolution of the Newport and Gloucester designs of the 1970s and 80s. When Heaton established production in Chanute, Kansas, he utilized existing molds that had already proven their merit in the recreational market. The Classic 22 was positioned as an accessible, family-oriented cruiser capable of being towed by a standard SUV, bridging the gap between small daysailers and larger, more permanent keelboats. It shares its fundamental hull geometry with the Gloucester 22, a design known for its generous beam-to-length ratio, which provides a stable platform for both novice sailors and those transitioning from smaller dinghies to overnight-capable vessels.
